Is Life Always This Hard, Or Is It Just When You're A Kid?

by Rainier on Aug. 16, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

Another beautiful day around these parts, but we decided to stay in, relax, plop ourselves on the couch and watch Burn Notice and Entourage. We planned on watching Fanboys, but some family stopped by, and that killed that plan.

I did, however, manage to get to work on swapping out my motherboard, hard drives and power supply to my new case, so hopefully the airflow will be much better now.

Gee, I Wish We Had One Of Them Doomsday Machines

by Rainier on Aug. 15, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

Yesterday was a beautiful day. The weather hadn't been this great in weeks, so we ventured out a bit, did some shopping, and went out with friends for all-you-can-eat sushi (SO stuffed). We also saw The Other Guys (with Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell, also starring Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson) which turned out to be rather funny, even though we are not big Ferrell fans. To top it off, we also watched the pilot for Warehouse 13, a sci-fi series we've been meaning to check out. The trailers did not really do it justice, as it is better than we anticipated.

No special plans today, I foresee some walking, eating, and movie watching in our imminent future.
